Vision

Driven by curiosity, imagination and play I strive to create shows, experiences and theatre for those who feel 'theatre really isn't for me'. Taking theatre outside of the conventional theatre space; often stigmatised by working-class audiences in feeling like they don't belong there. I bring theatre to the audience and invite them to join in.

With comedy, clowning and story-telling at the heart of my work, I want to explore local and national stories. With emphasis into folklore, myth and the fantastical I hope to bring new breath to old stories.

Mission

My mission is to create theatre for those who think 'Theatre isn't really for me'. Growing from a working class background in the suburbs of Leicester, I push to break down the walls of socio-economic class, accessibility, age, gender and race that surround traditional theatre.

I will achieve this mission by:

- Creating theatre in unconventional environments, bringing theatre to the people.

- Exploring, learning and telling stories that reflect audiences lives and experiences. Whether that be local or national

- Developing work with audience engagement, allowing the audience to be a part of the creative process.
